Harley Benton PA-100 Power Attenuator

Ik wou mijn Marshall SC20H met de master goed open op een geluidsniveau dat de buren ook aanvaardbaar vinden krijgen met deze attenuator. Het klinkt bagger. Al het leven is uit de amp gezogen en er komt een hol soort klank uit waar je niets mee bent. Mijn allereerste low budget solidstate brol amp maakt een beter geluid. Dan maar gewoon een overdrive in front en het volume van de master naar beneden.

Bought this for using valve amps at a sensible noise level.
Sucks all tone from the amp, sounds like a pillow has been placed over the speaker.

Sorry, this is just worthless piece of gear. Regardless of its low price. It just renders the sound of a great tube amp to the sound of a very cheap small solid state practice amp. It kills all the life in the sound. Like you have put a thick wool blanket over your speaker. Very disappointed.
It looks well built. Has nice features. But, it sounds just awful! Better put a volume pedal in the FX loop, than this.

Bought this as a back up to my Bugera PS-1 (which is basically the same minus the fan) and it has now successfully redplated the tubes in two of my amps back to back.

I thought the first time may have been just a coincidence but as soon as I hooked this up to a different amp it redplated the tubes of that amp almost instantly. Now I have two amps in the shop and a attenuator that is useless.

Mine may just be defective, considering most reviews of this are great, so as the title of the review says, be cautious.
